Lawyers for Children Injured by Medical Malpractice
When a doctor makes a mistake during labor or delivery, both baby and mother can suffer a lifetime of disability. The parents' hopes and dreams for a normal, healthy child are replaced with the sobering prospect of caring for a child who may need extensive medical support for the rest of his or her life.
At Freeman & Chiartas, our medical malpractice attorneys represent clients whose children have been the victims of medical malpractice. Whether your child suffered a birth injury, was injured or misdiagnosed during routine treatment or was injured by surgical malpractice or emergency room error, we can help. We have won substantial verdicts and settlements for clients whose children suffered harm from birth injury or other types of medical malpractice.

In cases of serious, permanent injuries, we consult with a certified life-care planner to project what an injured child will need to cope with the effects of the medical mistake for the rest of his or her life. This may include hospital visits, ongoing medical care, physical, vocational or speech rehabilitation, special education expenses, wheelchairs, handicapped vans, modifications to the home to make it wheelchair accessible and nursing assistance.
Putting a Figure on Your Child's Suffering
Once a life care planner has devised a plan for the ongoing care of the child, we work with an economist to determine the projected lifetime costs of the injury. Then our attorneys aggressively pursue financial compensation for the full extent of your damages and costs, including pain, suffering, and loss of future earning potential.
To discuss your medical malpractice or birth injury case with an experienced attorney, please contact Freeman & Chiartas today. The initial consultation is always free of charge.
